In Chapter 19, “Create and Configure Notebooks,” we discussed creating Microsoft

OneNote notebooks, sections, and pages within which to store electronic information.

In this chapter, we move on to the task of collecting and storing the information.

OneNote 2010 provides two primary ways to collect information: the OneNote program

window and the OneNote Side Note utility. In addition, options in other programs—such

as the Send To OneNote command on the Windows Internet Explorer Tools menu, and

the Send To OneNote 2010 printer available when printing from any Windows program—

make it easy to collect information without starting or switching to OneNote.

You can store almost any type of electronic information in a OneNote notebook, including

text, graphics, photos, Web clippings and pages, hyperlinks, audio clips, and video clips.

You can store as much or as little information as you want on each individual page.

In this chapter, you’ll insert text, graphics, handwritten notes, screen clippings, Web

notes, and media clips into note containers on pages of a OneNote notebook by using

various methods.

Practice Files Before you can complete the exercises in this chapter, you need to copy

the book’s practice files to your computer. The practice files you’ll use to complete the

exercises in this chapter are in the Chapter20 practice file folder. A complete list of

practice files is provided in “Using the Practice Files” at the beginning of this book.
